Sheridan and Rosser.

The story that General Sheridan will take
horseback ride through the Shenandoah
Valley the coming summer to revisit the
scenes of his famous exploits during the war
turns out to be without foundation. Gen.
Sheridan visited the valley last summer. in
company with Senator Cameron of Pennsyl-
vania, and was Hospitality received by the
people. The report that he would again 20
there this summer seems to have been in
vented. 1t has had a very interesting effect
however. General Rosser, it will be remem-
bered had no sooner read it than he came
out with fiery letter denouncing Sheridan
Tor THE wild, wanton waste and desolation
which his barbarous torch spread through
the valley during the war and limiting that
1t would be fully as safe for him to keep out
Of the Shenandoah. Gen. Sheridan has seen
this letter of Rosser's and he has in a talk
with one of the Washington correspondents.
given an explanation of Rosser's philipic.
This explanation is as entertaining as any
war literature published for some lime.
Gen. Sheridan says:

The difference is in the distance. The for
mer circles around the sun at a mean dis
lance of some 23O,OO0,000. while the latter
makes his vast sweep at the distance of near
ly j. SOC. OO0, 900 miles. Therefore, to the ter

The right ascension of Uranus on the 1st

his diameter is 81. s, and he is in the constel

Uranus sets on the LIST about half-past 8

Neptune is evening star until the 18th,
when he becomes morning star
Mercury is morning star until the 9th, and
then changes his role to evening star.
Mars is morning star. He has advanced SO

who was in conjunction on the 18th, moving
much faster, overtakes him on the 57th. Tie
planets are in conjunction at MONDAY, Mars

Bath is going to try to get the opinion of
the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court as to
whether 1t is legal for the city toset its clocks
on local time in face of the fact that the
Legislature adopted standard time. The
constitution obliges the Supreme Court to
give its opinion on ''solemn!occasions only
when asked for by the Governor. Council
Senate, or House Of Representatives. So it
will be seen that the court is under no obli-
CATION to answer the question propounded
by Bath. 1t is not in terms forbidden to
do so, but doubtless the intent of the
constitution is that only questions asked by
the persons and bodies specified shall be
answered, and the court win without much
doubt so decide.

Mr.. Edward Atkinson suggests that rail-
road corporations combine in a mutual sys-
TEN for the inspection Of their bridges. This
plan he thinks would secure both economy
and safety. He says it can hardly be ex-
pected that an inspector of bridges, ap-
pointed by a single corporation, will pro-
nounce bridge unsafe or unsuitable which
mas been adopted and in some instances
been designed by his superior officers. Mr..
Atkinson says that it has come to his
knowledge in the past few years that GER
tsin type of railroad bridge, of which the
composite Bussey bridge in part consisted
was utterly distrusted by one whose iudg-
mept in such matters was entitled to great
respect There are several such bridges in
New England and he thinks some way
should be devised by which their character
can be accurately determined.
